In times of financial hardship, homeowners may find themselves in need of a way to avoid foreclosure and manage their debt. One option available for homeowners in this situation is the short sale process. In this article, we will discuss what a short sale is and how it works in Arizona to help individuals avoid foreclosure.
Definition of a Short Sale
A short sale is when a homeowner who needs to sell their home but owes more than it’s worth (the mortgage is underwater) negotiates with the lender to accept less than what’s owed on the loan balance. This allows the borrower to sell their home at market value and get out from under their debt before they face foreclosure.
Overview of the Short Sale Process in Arizona
When considering a short sale in Arizona, there are some steps that must be taken prior to closing on the sale. The first step would be for the homeowner to contact an experienced company specializing in short sales so that all parts of the process can go smoothly and conform to laws and requirements even if the deal ultimately doesn’t go through.
The homeowner must also get approval from their lender(s), as they are not obligated by law to approve a short sale offer—they can choose whether or not to participate in one. Should they decide to enter into negotiations, both parties will come together and work out an agreement that satisfies both sides with regard to the sale price, closing costs, fees, etc. Once these details have been settled upon, the documents need to be signed by all parties involved before closing on the transaction can take place.
